This week’s edition explores controversial proposals for peace in the Middle East, critiques of propaganda and state surveillance, and Marxist vs libertarian readings of ancient and modern economies. Expect ideas that unsettle orthodox thinking, from conspiracy cults to climate policy, and from Roman markets to health scepticism. Our contributors remain, uncompromising and clear. Please read, share, and repost as you see fit.

Yours in Liberty,

🔗 Israel v Palestine: Peace Through Compromise?
Alan Bickley
A stark real-politik proposal for Israeli‑Palestinian peace. Rather than idealistic slogans, it suggests concrete territorial and economic compromises—recognising the pain on both sides and proposing a settlement that might actually last. All sources are public and claims rigorously noted. A peace proposal beyond propaganda.
🔗 Melanie Phillips and the War of Words: Gaza and the Truth She Won’t Face
Reginald Godwyn
A critical dismantling of Melanie Phillips’s Gaza columns, showing how her diction frames Israel as faultless and suppresses Palestinian civilian suffering. Godwyn argues her editorial tactics minimise undeniable suffering while casting any dissent as moral self‑flagellation rather than serious argument.
🔗 The Israel Trap
Juan I. Núñez
A libertarian call to recognise that Israel is not the villain in the present conflict.
🔗 “The Soil Is Buzzing, Son”: Chris Everard’s Electromagnetic Gospel
Bryan Mercadente
An sarcastic review of conspiracy theorist Chris Everard’s media. Mercadente exposes his electromagnetic fantasies as performative chaos, mixing pseudoscience with political good sense. Politics
🔗 The Nolan Principles and DOGGHIE – Editorial
A revisit to the Nolan Principles first set in 1995 and traced over 30 years. This essay highlights how they’ve been diluted, inverted, or ignored, especially in the era of Regulatory capture and media influence. It argues that today’s standards of public life are weaker than ever.
🔗 Britain’s Engineered Balkanisation…
Len D. Pozeram
Exposes how Afghan resettlement policy displaced veterans and created legal hierarchies. Far from humanitarianism, the author argues this was deliberate demographic engineering designed to splinter national identity and suppress unified civic resistance.
🔗 Oppenheimer’s Razor
Neil Lock
Interprets Franz Oppenheimer’s insight that the State exists to protect an elite class. Lock uses this to critique modern governance as class domination masked as public order. A concise philosophical indictment of coercive political institutions. History
🔗 Rome Was a Market Economy: Anyone Who Says Otherwise Is a Fool
Bryan Mercadente
A cruel attack on one of Bryan’s teachers masquerading as a rebuttal of the “tribute economy” myth. He brings evidence—contracts, interest rates, pricing, banking—to show ancient Rome functioned like a market economy. As ever, he mixes personal savagery with scholarship and historical clarity.
🔗 The Rhythms of History 2
Neil Lock
Lock reflects on how empires rise and fall in predictable patterns. Drawing lessons for modern Britain, he maps cycles of centralisation, decay, and renewal that repeat unless resisted through rooted cultural memory. Health / Science / Technology
🔗 AI and Human Intelligence: Impact
Discusses how AI threatens human independence by replacing thought with automation. The essay warns that deskilling, overdependence, and cognitive diminishment are real risks—and urges readers to retain control before technology reshapes us entirely.
🔗 AI Revolution: Consumer & Business Adoption
Shows how AI is already integrating into daily life—not via dramatic breakthroughs, but through subtle shifts in commerce, automation, and delivery. A quiet revolution that bypasses democratic control and transforms markets from the bottom up.
🔗 AI & Human Enhancement: Tools or Trojan Horse?
Duncan Whitmore
Evaluates AI-assisted enhancements—not just for cognitive or physical gain, but as mechanisms of surveillance and control. He asks whether such technology liberates individuals or consolidates elite power under the guise of progress.
🔗 Hippocrates on Health and the Fat Boys at My School
Bryan Mercadente
A blunt memoir combining extremes of playground cruelty with ancient medical wisdom. Mercadente compares modern obesity stigma with Hippocratic ethics, arguing that responsibility and self-discipline remain central to both health and moral discourse.
🔗 Measured Doubts: A Cautious Endorsement of Over‑treatment of Blood Pressure
Sebastian Wang
A sober examination of modern hypertension protocols. Wang agrees excessive treatment is common but warns that avoidance also carries risk. He calls for calibrated scepticism and more nuanced guidelines in cardiovascular care. Arts & Reviews
🔗 Vivarium (2019): The Film That Forgot to Finish Itself
Bryan Mercadente
A scathing review of high‑concept sci‑fi stagnation. Mercadente criticises Vivarium for its muddled symbolism, lack of resolution, and empty surrealism—calling it style over substance, with no emotional or cultural payoff.
